Pass over some of that kosher salt to fill the wound.

 

[jimmythegreek]

I actually won one. To quote the overrated and overpaid former New Jersey Net and Syracuse alumn Derek Coleman, 'whoop de damn doo'.

Jtg improves to 2-6 and ends his pathetic losing streak.

 

[John Kelly]

Add "Whoop-Dee-Damn-Doo" to my EOG glossary.

Funny line, Jimmy.

Hehe.

Leave it to eog's leader to rub more salt in the wound he initially created with a trademark louse up.

 

[John Kelly]

Not meant to rub salt in the wound, Jimmy.

I apologize if the message offended you.

Not my intention.

I only wrote "Hehe" because I usually write "Improbable but not impossible."

This time, I added a twist to the phrase.

But, of course, it's NOT impossible to hit 15 straight.

 

[jimmythegreek]

John Kelly gets an e for effort for an attempt at sensitivity.

[John Kelly]

Final score: Dodgers 3 Cubs 2.

Jimmy stands at 3-13.

No parting gifts in EOG's Grand Challenge.

But thanks for giving it a go, Jimmy.

 

[TEXED]

Jimmy, you ran into a buzz saw. If I remember right, you did this contest once before and won it by a wide margin. As Yogi might have said: You can sum it up in two words, You never know.

I always enjoy seeing your picks and posts.

 

[jimmythegreek]

Thank you Texed. You are correct I did go 18-9 a couple of years ago, do maybe the othe side of the futility coin was due to rear its ugly head. I'll sum it up like Woody Woodpecker did with his famous gone right to the police quote. "If management would have followed proper scheduling protocol, this would never have happened".

 

[wirelessjava]

Yes, good effort. Jimmy. What is your best sport, Jimmy?

 

[jimmythegreek]

Best sport is basketball, at least the nba and colleges is what won me the contest the first time around.

 

[Patrick McIrish]

Yeah I remember you kicking ass in the past Jimmy, streaks like this just remind us how frustrating it can be.

That said not much can be taken from such a small sample, positive or negative.

Also with you it's a big detriment not being able to bet FF, I check all your posted FF plays I see here on the forums, I know you are pretty consistent.

I try this challenge soon, I might give JK even more to laugh at in September.

 

[John Kelly]

Hey now.

I wasn't laughing AT Jimmy, I was laughing at the line, "Improbable AND impossible."

I'm confident Patrick will post a winning record in September because he's a college football devotee.

Great month to gamble for those type.

 

[jimmythegreek]

I'll be rooting you home Patrick in a couple of months. Hey John, since I officially overlooked the scheduling gaffe, can you dip into the archives to see where I rank in the list if contest futility for curiousness purposes since there are no parting gifts given?

I cannot remember anyone who was eliminated by the 16th of the month.

Only ComptrBob would know for sure.

Correct. JTG has the lowest win% of 18.8% of all 90 contests, he also has the 2nd highest at 66.7%
